ARBITRATION CLAUSE

"Any dispute or difference or claim arising out of or in relation to this contract, including the construction, validity, performance or breach thereof, shall be settled and decided by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the Arbitration and Conciliation Tribunal of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FACT) and the award made in pursuance thereof shall be binding on the parties."

CONCILIATION CLAUSE

"If a dispute arises out of or in connection with this contract, or in respect of any defined legal relationship associated therewith or derived therefrom, the parties agree to seek an amicable settlement of the dispute through conciliation under the Rules of Conciliation of the Arbitration and Conciliation Tribunal of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FACT).

The authority to appoint the conciliator/conciliators shall be the FACT and FACT will provide administrative services in accordance with the FACT Rules of Conciliation."
